report: before the recap begins, i would like to, with reference to the team picture below, unnecessarily thank everyone for turning up. for the first time since this team was formed, we had every player in attendance. from 'el disappearado' zhipeng to 'el shadowe' wee theng to 'el cashe-minde' leo. the team pic, courtesy of xianghui, was a very nice take too.

too many turned out to be bad thing though. so i'm not sure which scenario we would prefer. anyway, on to the match proceedings.


the team started off with wee leong in keep, wee theng as the lone last man, bob playing the role of sweeper/dm, yew tze at the lower head of a three prong attack consisting of zp and tay. to further elaborate the use of this tactic, it was thought and ironed through, so as to neutralise the threat from the opposition. due first time usage, it was not surprising players failed to adhere to the formation.

hence as usual, the team conceded first. not taking anything away from opposition player kanu; it was an impeccable finish. also, as mentioned by the team manager before the beginning of the game, any goal conceded was not wee leong's fault at all, regardless of the cause. hence, among the desperate finger pointing, the team fell behind once again. this period of gloom lasted for roughly eight minutes before zp struck to draw level. sighs of relief all around, especially from the defenders.

yew tze then tried to take on the entire defence before making a stray pass to the wrong person. but luckily the wrong guy was on the same team, and sum made use of the disarray to net his first strike for the team. a whoop of pure delight spelt volumes.

half the team was subbed out; with congjing already in the game, leo came on for yew tze, as did liangfa for wee theng. tay snapped his mediocre streak by finally netting after missing a host of chances. and 3-1 it was.

jiaxuan then subbed on for a limping kanu, and scored with his third touch later after wee leong collided with sum (all sum's fault, not wee leong's) . this traitorous act was somewhat less hurtful when the player refused to celebrate. however, the resulting effect was an unwanted one. spurred on by kanu's substitution, teamwyf proceeded to net two more, much to the utter shock of yew tze and bob, who were adulterously chatting, happily, on the sidelines.

tay didn't look happy at that. and in his attempt to regain someone's attention, took on the crippled full back, spun him around and blasted past the stunned keeper.

the opposition keeper was not at all demoralised by the setback, and continued his good form to deny the team again and again. with the score evenly balanced at 4-4, zp pounced on a loose ball, took it in his stride and side-footed it home. less than five minutes later, opposition no. 10 xianghui, with a sudden burst of acceleration, took the ball past our defender and buried the shot beyond wee leong, who as a good goal keeper should, covered every possible and impossible angle.

due to the horrid weather, and that the opponent had graciously played with no subs from their team, a one goal decider was decided. and tay scored to end this match, which to our opponent's credit, was a great one.

manofthematch: to be filled in. i'm not sure 'cos we all played badly.

moanofthematch: weather was killer.

quoteofthematch: 'lucky i'm only responsible for one goal,' wee theng, after a bemused sum gave him a dirty look.

conclusion: will give a detailed account what we hope to avoid in coming matches. as for now, it looks rather sad.
